The US President said, “I miss him already.
“But I take solace in knowing that he and his beloved Rosalynn are reunited once again.”
Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the US, passed on Sunday 29 December, 2024 “surrounded by his family” in his home in Plains, Georgia.
A State funeral was held in his honour at the Washington National Cathedral on Thursday 9 January, 2025.
In his remark, President Biden said: “I miss him already.
But I take solace in knowing that he and his beloved Rosalynn are reunited once again.
To the entire Carter family, thank you for sharing them with America and with the world.
We love you all.
“As President Carter returns to Plains, Georgia for his final resting place, we say goodbye in the words of the prophet Micah whom Jimmy so admired.
Until his final breath, he did justly, loved mercy, and walked humbly.
May God bless a great American, a dear friend, a good man.”
